Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a unique form of pulmonary hypertension resulting from obstruction of the pulmonary artery by fibrotic thromboembolic material, usually initiated by recurrent or incomplete resolution of pulmonary embolism. This distinct form of pulmonary hypertension is classified under Group 4 of the World Health Organization classification. Further investigations are usually initiated, with transthoracic echocardiography followed by right heart catheterisation and pulmonary angiography as the gold standard. Definitive treatment is usually in the form of surgical pulmonary endarterectomy. Inoperable CTEPH is medically treated with pharmacological agents such as phosphodiesterase Type 5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor antagonists, soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators and prostacyclin. Recent developments have made balloon pulmonary angioplasty a viable option as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with high medical and pharmaceutical costs. Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors have been found to be beneficial but costly. They are not subsidised in Singapore except via the Medication Assistance Fund (MAF) Plus scheme. In this study, we described the help-seeking behaviour of patients and funding strategies for Singaporean patients on PDE5 inhibitors in our registry.Methods: We consecutively recruited all patients with PAH who presented to our pulmonary hypertension specialty centre between 1 January 2003 and 29 December 2016. Singaporean patients on PDE5 inhibitors were included. Data recorded and analysed for this study included baseline demographics, whether the patients received MAF Plus funding, percentage of funding, and any additional source of subsidies.Results: 114 (77.0%) of 148 patients in the registry were Singapore citizens on PDE5 inhibitors. 75 (65.8%) of these 114 patients had been seen by a medical social worker, of whom 16 were on MAF Plus funding. 14 of the remaining 59 patients were subsidised by MediFund, whereas the remainder were self-paying. 30 (26.3%) patients in total were on some form of subsidy, and 28 (24.6%) patients were on combination therapy. Of this group, nine were receiving MAF Plus subsidies.Conclusion: Fewer than expected patients were found to be receiving drug subsidies for PAH. This was partly due to insufficient referrals and lack of requests for financial assistance. Patients on combination therapy had greater financial challenges. This study should spur us on to study funding gaps further and address them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Introduction: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an effective treatment for high-risk or inoperative patients with severe aortic stenosis. Given the unique characteristics of Asian populations, questions regarding mid-term outcomes in Asians undergoing TAVI have yet to be addressed. We evaluated the two-year clinical outcomes of TAVI in an Asian population using Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 definitions.Methods: This prospective study recruited 59 patients from a major academic medical centre in Singapore. The main outcomes were two-year survival rates, peri-procedural complications, symptom improvement, valvular function and assessment of learning curve.Results: Mean age was 76.8 years (61.0% male), mean body surface area 1.6 m2 and mean logistic EuroSCORE 18.7%. Survival was 93.2%, 86.0% and 79.1% at 30 days, one year and two years, respectively. At 30 days post TAVI, the rate of stroke was 1.7%, life-threatening bleeding 5.1%, acute kidney injury 25.0%, major vascular complication 5.1%, and new permanent pacemaker implantation 6.8%. 29.3% of TAVI patients were rehospitalised (47.1% cardiovascular-related) within one year. These composite outcomes were measured: device success (93.2%); early safety (79.7%); clinical efficacy (66.1%); and time-related valve safety (84.7%). Univariate analysis found these predictors of two-year all-cause mortality: logistic EuroSCORE (hazard ratio [HR] 1.07; p < 0.001); baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (HR 0.97; p = 0.048); and acute kidney injury (HR 5.33; p = 0.022). Multivariate analysis identified non-transfemoral TAVI as a predictor of cardiovascular-related two-year mortality (HR 14.64; p = 0.008).Conclusion: Despite the unique clinical differences in Asian populations, this registry demonstrated favourable mid-term clinical and safety outcomes in Asians undergoing TAVI.

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the use of a cardiopulmonary patient simulator in the teaching of second-year medical students. Effectiveness was measured in terms of the extent of knowledge retention and students' ability to apply the skills learned in subsequent real-life patient contact. METHODS In this study, ten third-year medical students who had previously undergone simulator training as part of their second-year curriculum underwent an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) and a multiple-choice question (MCQ) test to assess their ability to apply the knowledge gained during the simulator training when dealing with real patients. The performance of this group of students was compared with that of a group of ten fourth-year medical students who did not undergo simulation training. RESULTS Although the third-year medical students performed well in the OSCE, they were outperformed by the group of fourth-year medical students, who had an extra year of clinical exposure. The MCQ scores of the two groups of students were similar. Post-simulation training survey revealed that students were generally in favour of incorporating cardiopulmonary simulator training in the preclinical curriculum. CONCLUSION Cardiopulmonary simulator training is a useful tool for the education of preclinical medical students. It aids the translation of preclinical knowledge into real-life clinical skills.

- Abstract
Introduction: The treatment of aortic valve stenosis (AS) is seeing renewed interest mainly due to the availability of transcatheter therapies. However, the number of epidemiological studies of this disease in Singapore is limited. We aimed to describe the aetiology and clinical presentation of AS in Singapore, as well as patients' attitudes toward it. Our findings may facilitate the future planning and utilisation of resources to better manage these patients.Methods: 249 consecutive patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (from April 1999 to April 2008) and diagnosed with severe AS were assessed. Demographic and clinical data were collected, and patients' decisions on surgery were determined.Results: The mean patient age was 71 (range 23-98) years. 50.2% of patients were male. The commonest presenting symptom was dyspnoea, and 40 (16.0%) patients had coexistent atrial fibrillation. The aetiology of AS was degenerative in 216 (86.7%), rheumatic in 11 (4.4%) and related to a bicuspid valve in 22 (8.9%) patients. The average peak velocity across the aortic valve was 4.2 ± 0.8 m/s and the mean aortic valve area was 0.76 ± 0.13 cm2. The overall mean logistic EuroSCORE was 10.7 ± 12.3. 105 (42.2%) patients who were offered surgery refused. 87 (35%) deaths were seen during the follow-up period (mean duration 14.5 months), which also saw 68 (27%) patients undergo surgery and 86 (34%) patients hospitalised for heart failure.Conclusion: Degenerative AS was the commonest aetiology in this contemporary cohort of patients. Despite the known benefits of surgery, the refusal rate for surgery remained high. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Although the treatment of aortic coarctation in adults with the use of stents has shown favourable results and reduced complications, there have been few studies involving elderly patients. We highlight the clinical challenges faced in the management of such patients, with attention to severe calcification at the coarctation site. The midterm results were good in our patient, showing an improvement in blood pressure control and maintenance of stent patency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Introduction: Management of aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may often be overlooked, and this could confer poorer outcomes., Methods: Consecutive patients (n = 727) with index echocardiographic diagnosis of moderate to severe AS (aortic valve area <1.5 cm
2 ) were examined. They were divided into those with CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min) and those without. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic parameters were compared, and a multivariate Cox regression model was constructed. Clinical outcomes were compared using Kaplan-Meier curves., Results: There were 270 (37.1%) patients with concomitant CKD. The CKD group was older (78.0 ± 10.3 vs. 72.1 ± 12.9 years, P < 0.001), with a higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia and ischaemic heart disease. AS severity did not differ significantly, but left ventricular (LV) mass index (119.4 ± 43.7 vs. 112.3 ± 40.6 g/m2 , P = 0.027) and Doppler mitral inflow E to annular tissue Doppler e' ratio (E: e' 21.5 ± 14.6 vs. 17.8 ± 12.2, P = 0.001) were higher in the CKD group. There was higher mortality (log-rank 51.5, P < 0.001) and more frequent admissions for cardiac failure (log-rank 25.9, P < 0.001) in the CKD group, with a lower incidence of aortic valve replacement (log-rank 7.12, P = 0.008). On multivariate analyses, after adjusting for aortic valve area, age, left ventricular ejection fraction and clinical comorbidities, CKD remained independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio 1.96, 95% confidence interval 1.50-2.57, P < 0.001)., Conclusion: Concomitant CKD in patients with moderate to severe AS was associated with increased mortality, more frequent admissions for cardiac failure and a lower incidence of aortic valve replacement., Competing Interests: None- Published

- Abstract
Introduction: Conventional knowledge holds that the majority of ruptured atherosclerotic plaques causing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are found in moderate stenoses that produce < 50% loss of arterial diameter. This study aimed to analyse the culprit lesions in patients who presented with STEMI and underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) at our institution., Methods: Patients who underwent PPCI between June 2008 and August 2010 at our institution were included in the analysis. Quantitative coronary angiography was performed for the culprit lesions immediately after antegrade flow was restored by thrombectomy, low-profile balloon predilatation or guidewire crossing., Results: A total of 1,021 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 57 ± 12 years and 85.2% were male. Lesion measurement was done after coronary flow was restored by thrombectomy (73.1%), balloon dilatation (24.1%) and following guidewire passage across the lesion (2.8%). Mean minimal luminal diameter was 1.1 ± 0.5 mm, mean reference vessel diameter was 2.8 ± 0.6 mm, mean diameter stenosis was 61 ± 16% and mean lesion length was 16 ± 6 mm. Most (80.2%) of the culprit lesions had diameter stenoses > 50% (p < 0.01). Although balloon angioplasty was performed in 24.1% of the patients, the majority (64.2%) still had diameter stenoses > 50%. High-grade stenoses (> 50%) were more frequently observed in male patients (p = 0.04)., Conclusion: Contrary to the existing paradigm, we found that most of the patients with STEMI in our institution had culprit lesions with diameter stenosis > 50%.

- Abstract
We report the case of a 70-year-old man with an asymptomatic large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) incidentally detected on triple-rule-out computed tomography (CT). CT clearly demonstrated a vascular structure connecting the descending thoracic aorta to the roof of the proximal left pulmonary artery, consistent with a PDA. Secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension was also evident on CT. The patient was eventually diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome and was successfully treated with coronary artery bypass graft surgery and concomitant patch closure of the PDA. This article aims to outline the imaging features of PDA and highlight the information provided by CT, which is crucial to treatment planning. The pathophysiology, clinical manifestations and closure options of PDA are also briefly discussed.
